In an emergency application, administration lawyers asked the justices to immediately order California to set aside 20,000 mail-in ballots. The request comes amid ongoing disputes over election procedures and ballot handling in the state. The Supreme Court has not yet ruled on the matter, and the case highlights the intense legal battles surrounding mail-in voting ahead of the election.
California officials have defended their processes, arguing that the ballots were processed according to established rules. The outcome could have significant implications for election integrity and access to voting across the nation.
